"Knowing"...

    Anybody else see it yet? What did you think? At least Ezekiel's chariot in this movie is more interesting than the Society's version of it.

    I liked it, but I also saw too many scenes that mirrored shots from "War of the Worlds", "The Day the Earth Stood Still", "Close Encounters" (sign language ,huh?), and a movie from Canada called "Last Night" which chronicled the final 24 hours of existence on Earth (in one city, anyway).

    As I said, I liked it. But Roger Ebert gave it such a high rating, which surprised me. Ever since his brush with eternity, he seems to be really getting into "heavy" philosophical movies. He went nuts over "Watchmen" which I liked, but it had problems too. Maybe he's losing his objectivity.

    Anyway, go see it, and take anyone who is looking forward to Armageddon. They might get all amped by the last 15 minutes of the movie...

    Actually, I thought the picture was very similar to the ones in the WTS publications.

    does he have to sacrifice his son to save the earth? I am guessing based on the trailer.

    That would be telling...

    Blondie, here is another version of that same picture:

    It's not an original Society drawing; It's from an unknown artist who ilustrated the book " L'Histoire du Vieux et du Nouveau Testament," by Nicolas Fontaine . Published 1670!!!!

    Here is a link to other illustrations from the book; Does anything else look familiar to you?
